    Unknown authors

    Published in Atherosclerosis

    Key Findings

    Omega-3 2 g/day lowered triglycerides by 21%; fenofibrate produced larger changes in inflammatory and haemostatic markers including fibrinogen.

    Conclusions

    Omega-3 improves lipids but is weaker than fibrates on fibrinogen-related endpoints.

    Limitations

    Single-blind, short duration, Korean cohort only.

    Supplements Studied

    Omega-3 fatty acids therapy decreased triglycerides by 21% in patients with hypertriglyceridemia.

    Outcomes Measured

    Fibrinogen Reduction

    Omega-3 fatty acids decreased triglycerides by 21% but produced smaller changes in haemostatic markers than fenofibrate.
